"all right, seriously, what's your deal?" kubo says pointedly, looking over his shoulder with a grimace that would put a hannya mask to shame.

it's one thing to end up partnered with kariya during work hours, but another thing altogether to find the reaper catching up to him during his break time.

still, he doesn't leave the bench he's sitting on, patiently waiting for an answer.

"ya can't seriously expect me to believe you're this fond of me."

"Hell yeah, you are. You've got some sick moves."

Except, Ryoji hadn't quite been paying attention when whatever happened happened, and he was just speaking to keep up the energy. That's what you did if you wanted to make a quick buck. And he could have easily left it like that, too. Maybe talk Kariya into trading for one of his pins and make a sale. It was always a smart move when he was nearby for things like this.

But the more he pondered it the more curious he was about it. What was so good? What happened? It probably wasn't as smart to just out himself like that, but how else was he supposed to figure out what Kairya had done? He would totally miss out if he didn't!

"So uh, what happened?"

@pulsefelt / kariya & fiona!

Fiona knows what things that are alive - but - not feel like. The dead - but - not - dead can take many forms — Daniela, real but sure she isn't / Riccardo, alive but only as a copy of something else / Fiona, when she stares at herself in the mirror and knows she should be dead if not for the Azoth in her gunts, keeping alive the body that should be a corpse.

And Fiona doesn't feel comfortable around men at the best of times, let alone when they're alive - but - not. Neither does Hewie, if the way the pale white Shepherd growls at the thin man is anything to go off of. The words are out of her mouth before she can stop them, "What — what are you?"

let me assign you an affection language

a story that ends in blood.

The world has always been unkind, and when you have turned to yourself for comfort you have come face to face with an empty pit which seems to be laughing. You don’t care if it kills you but once you find someone whom you love and who loves you back, you will make sure nothing happens to them. They are yours. You will make a tear in this world and create a new place for you and your love if it comes to that. Because it has always been about love, and it is how it always ends.

NOW AT @stillgrows

PULSEFELT :  A PRIVATE AND SELECTIVE ROLEPLAY BLOG FOR KARIYA KŌKI OF THE THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU SERIES. HEAVILY BASED ON HEADCANONS AND THEORIES. INTERPRETED AND WRITTEN BY SYD. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 2021.

a study in: keeping things need-to-know, being so entwined with a place that it's you and you are it, knowing more than you should, a lack of ambition, appreciating the little things, and knowing when things just aren't worth being stressed out about.

     ❝ SOOO . . . DO YOU JUST have, like, a pocket full of lollipops or something ? ❞ he’s yet to see kariya without one, but he’s also yet to see him finish one, thus leaves rindo with an infinite amount of questions. once the current one was gone, would the reaper simply pull another from his pocket ? would he have to run to a convenience store ? maybe there was some kind of reaper perk that allowed him to summon lollipops from thin air ? . . . no, wait, that’d be stupid.

@pulsefelt​ rq’d a starter!

“You’re lucky our bodies don’t abide by traditional rules. I shudder to think about the number of cavities you would surely have due to the amount of sugar you consume.”  Joshua sports a smirk, arms coming to fold in front of his chest. Everyone has a gimmick - Beat with the skeleton motif, Shiki and her doll, Kariya with the lollipop -- for a moment Joshua wonders what his gimmick is, if he has something so clearly HIM, but casts the thought aside. No use dwelling.

“You’ve been here a while and I know you can pull your weight when it counts, Kariya,”  the name spoken like a true Composer / melodic yet with a hint of depth to it,  “but I’ve heard you’re slacking off again. So...this is me showing up, pretending to care. Got a good excuse I can send back home?”

[simiasung-a]

they didn't even have to deal with a timer on their hands this is so fucked up

“ If you want my honest opinion, actually I think the lastest version of the games was kinda better. More around team building, more ethical. In concept, at least. ”

“ Don’t get me wrong, however. The games suck through an’ through. ”

[wickedremind]

❛   the noise...how did you -- ?   ❜  the question is prompted in genuine curiosity as most of his questions often are. fret’s naturally a pretty inquisitive person & yet -- there’s something different. there’s a sort of darkness hanging over him, veiled over by the mask he’s habitually put back on. fret doesn’t want to pretend anymore. but with everything that’s happened, he’s afraid if he doesn’t something ugly will make it’s way to the surface. an ugly thing that chants a mantra in his mind, it shouldn’t have been you. it should have been her. why wasn’t it her?  ❛   we didn’t think you could win if the noise took over you like that. what’d you do to stop it?   ❜

she purses her lips, eyes watching the man bumble around from their vantage point a bit higher up. “i could probably do a better job than him. and that’s kinda scary. can you even imagine me in a customer service position? hard pass.” there’s something sympathetic in the way her face twists, though. it wasn’t that long ago she was a brand new reaper herself, and severely out of her element. it was only through ayano’s guidance that she managed to find her niche. “not really anything we can do, short of influencing people in the RG to buy stuff there.” shoka shrugs. then... a mischievous smile lights on her face.

“ohoho... methinks i have a sidequest idea.”

[actingfool]

"i do like walkin' at night, y'know. so i might be there, coincidentally. or i might not."

squints.

"what're ya sayin', kariya? you wanna go on a date or something?"

[variabeautied]

nine tails whip in as many directions, the part of her that isn’t-anymore-and-maybe-never-was snarls and wants to bite before kanon manages to push it back under control, seething beneath the surface. it’s kariya, she’s not / it’s not — it’s wrong to say ‘not in danger’, isn’t it? a reaper’s a reaper’s a reaper, it’s true — things could be worse. not a snowball’s chance against a flame - blast he’ll recognize her as anything but a particularly odd noise, but if kanon(?) doesn’t attack, he probably won’t either. it’s not his character.

she hasn't seen much of — well, anyone — in the UG in who-knows-how-long she's been like this. that might be for the best, as she appears to physically shake off a lingering piece of plague noise's influence, but kanon isn’t sure whether that means the kids made it out or if she’s the last one left. 

but kariya’s here. if she can ... she can’t exactly pry for information like this / isn’t there enough to do anything at all, but perhaps following him will work instead. 

@pulsefelt / hey is this airfryer open? 

[skullreaped]

@pulsefelt​ sent :   " just couldn't stay away, huh?? " there's some lighthearted amusement to the words, but also something heavier beneath the surface. " never heard of someone re - joining the reapers, but there's a first time for everything. welcome back to the team, kid. " 

          The good guys suit me better. That’s what Beat had said when he’d given up his wings the first time around. Maybe that’s even still true —— the idea of sniping players has never quite sit right with him —— but it doesn’t really matter now. He knows what he’s getting into this time and he knows all too well the consequences of not playing by the Rules. He remembers vividly when he began to fade. Sometimes he can still feel himself disappearing. He tells himself it’ll be worth it when Rhyme’s okay again and Neku’s back.

          Noise sigils, angry red, hover around him. Garage Wolves claw their way out of them towards a small gathering of Purehearts. It’s a Scramble Slam today, he’s scraping the bare minimum of points, and the ‘Beauties are in the lead. Although usually he’d try and balance things out a little, something about the stupid ass way the Purehearts swap out words in other languages irritates the everloving fuck out of him and it absolutely has everything to do with the fact that he can’t fuckin’ understand them.

          He likes to tell himself it makes it easier if he can find a reason, even if it’s small and selfish. It doesn’t.

          ❛ ‘Eyyy, Lollipop! Good t’see ya still kickin’, man. ❜     He turns to Kariya, turns away from the Players dissolving into Soul behind him, and tugs his mask down to grin at the sweet-toothed Reaper, stretching his own wings out as if to emphasize their existence.     ❛ Heh, thanks. You know me —— always down fo’ seconds, yo. Speakin’ of, I’m starvin’. ❜

@pulsefelt​ liked for a starter!

“Kariya.” The name is neutral. A greeting because that would be more polite than saying nothing at all, and Shiba isn’t that cowardly. He stands right there on the edge of Shibuya, hands in his pockets as he eyes the other Reaper.

“I didn’t expect to see you again. Will you let me pass? I have a trail to burn in Shibuya.”

there isn't much content for haz in canon ( obviously... ) but i love the direction you're taking them in!! voice - wise they're very distinct and you do well taking the small amount of dialogue we have and transferring it to a fleshed - out lexicon, and then personality - wise they're both unassuming but offputting in a way that is just [chef kiss] captures the vibe of that entire part of the game ngl

THANK YOU FOR COMPLIMENTING ME ON THE THINGS I'VE BEEN THE MOST WORRIED ABOUT i always know i can count on u 🥺🥺🥺 everyone in this game has such a distinct voice and way of speaking and idk if it's the non - native english speaker thing or just me as a writer thing but natural - sounding dialogue is so hard. so i'm glad i haven't been messing that up too badly fhfghf. and unassuming but offputting is the exact vibe i want to convey so !! thank you syd !! / @pulsefelt
